    I’m 74 years old. I have loved this album for fifty years. When I listen to it, I can still smell jasmine incense, see lovely young women, with flowers in their unkempt hair, smelling of patchouli, smoking home-grown weed, drinking Boone’s Farm apple wine and dancing wildly in the moonlight.
    Get it while you can young ones. Don’t let a single day, or for that matter a single moment go to waste.
    Just a short time ago, I was where you are. It goes so quickly.
    I’m thankful for the lovely memories.

      I'm 29 and I wish there was something left to get other than servitude of industry and hedonism. Gotta have a movement that succeeds at applying honest symbiotic values to lifestyles instead of fizzling out when the shadow of empire comes knocking. Nothing left where I am but waste sadly, although what counts as waste to me is different from most other people I guess.

      I remember when I got on the bus, literally. I was DJing on my college radio station in Richmond, VA. I was familiar with the Grateful Dead and aware of their reputation. Someone called up and requested the Dead (this was 1981 so that meant the Grateful Dead proper back then) and before I could say, “Sure, man” they added, “and if you do play it I’ll give you two tickets on a bus going to the Capitol Centre in Landover, Maryland this weekend for the Grateful Dead show. So that was my first show. I don’t specifically remember exactly stepping on the bus, but I do still remember stepping off it in Landover, MD. There was this dude dancing through the parking lot with a big long multicolored scarf trailing out behind him. My first instinct was to follow him. It was a good instinct.

    Wake and bake album in circa-'83 .... If I was cranky or couldn't wake up even if you drove a hog through my house, somebody real or ghost or me would have to put on Golden road and everything would be totally freaking cool and I would hit the street after truckin.... This continued until I got out to BezerkelyCa3. Dead dead and more dead and if my head was about to explode from "a bit to much" some REALLY good acid, our go to song,... Actually , was Beatles ... Getting better all the time song. And if our instruments were at all recognizable, we play some yes until it turned back into a dark star. I hadn't thought about that for a long time now. Dead to the Core.

Couldn´t have chosen a better album. It was such a cool, strange and funny experience. My friend told me to only take a half but I just took the whole one!!😅 But even though it was strong for the first trip I wished it would have been much stronger. I love psychedeliks so much.

    My buddy unloaded this CD on me in, like, 99'? I was still really locked in on old punk rock -- Subhumans, Germs, early L.A. stuff -- but there were cracks in the foundation. To my horror, the Grateful Dead broke the dam wide open for me. Somehow, I liked the Dead -- and just came to love them more over the years.
    A couple years later, I saw a picture of Greg Ginn playing live with Black Flag in the late 70's, with shaggy hair and wearing a Stealie shirt. Maybe the most 'punk rock' thing I've seen to this day.

    Skimmed over a few comments before leaving my "trace": The French Gunsmith, Stephen Fisch, 230968, Primitive In The Extreme, dil Spundity... Yes to all, folks! Also came across the album (and the band) when I was 15! 63 in a few days and I still find this collection epic. No idea how many times I had tried to decipher "Rosemary" (before giving up): "On the wall of the garden, a legend did say, no one may come here, since no one may stay."

    Grateful Dead - Skeletons From The Closet - From Wikipedia - - - Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead is the first compilation album from rock band the Grateful Dead. It was originally released in February 1974. As with other such packages, the album was a way for Warner Bros. Records to capitalize on the Dead's back catalog, after the band had left the label. It was followed three years later by a second compilation, What a Long Strange Trip It's Been. - - The album title is a pun, referring both to the idiom and to the fact that these are Grateful Dead tracks from Warner Bros.' "closet" (and skeletons being iconography associated with the band). The artwork for the front and back covers of the album was created by John Van Hamersveld. With no input from the band, it only vaguely represents the imagery associated with the Grateful Dead, and is not in keeping with the tone of previous releases.
    The front cover shows a somewhat demonic, red-toned man (with flames reflected in his sunglasses), Botticelli's Venus holding a rose (presumably a reference to American Beauty, the album most-heavily represented), and a smoking skeleton spindling a prescient gold record on its extended middle finger. The stem of the rose touches the record, as a stylus. The back cover depicts three men seated around a diner table playing cards, with a globe trophy in the center. A book of matches bears the ecology symbol. Outside in the background, a flying saucer (from The Day the Earth Stood Still) hovers over a futuristic Dymaxion car whose designer, Buckminster Fuller, sits in the driver's seat. The structure in the distance depicts the Johnson Wax Administration Building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The three men depict Marlon Brando from The Wild One, a portrayal of Jesus in academic dress, and Cesar Romero as The Cisco Kid.
    Skeletons from the Closet was certified as a Gold Album in 1980, thereafter becoming the best-selling release by the band. It remains so despite the abrupt mix of styles presented (due to the band's stylistic evolution while signed with Warner Bros.), and despite a paucity of live performances, for which the band was more highly regarded by fans and critics.
    The album was first released on CD in 1988.
